Normani Addresses Camila Cabello's Past Racist Comments: 'It Was Devastating'

Normani addressed Fifth Harmony, and past racist comments in a new interview: 'I didn't want it to be a part of my narrative, but I am black woman, who is a part of an entire generation that has a similar story'

"It would be dishonest if I said that this particular scenario didn't hurt me," Normani continued."It was devastating that this came from a place that was supposed to be a safe haven and a sisterhood, because I knew that if the tables were turned I would defend each of them in a single heartbeat. It took days for her to acknowledge what I was dealing with online and then years for her to take responsibility for the offensive tweets that recently resurfaced.

Despite everything that went down, Normani sees it as an"opportunity for personal growth" for Cabello. "I really hope that an important lesson was learned in this," she said."I hope there is genuine understanding about why this was absolutely unacceptable. I have spoken what is in my heart and pray this is transparent enough that I never have to speak on it again."

To close out her statement, Normani directly addressed people of color who experience the same discrimination:"To my brown men and women, we are like no other. Our power lies within our culture. We are descendants of an endless line of strong and resilient kings and queens. We have been and will continue to win in all that we do simply because of who we are. We deserve to be celebrated, I deserve to be celebrated and I'm just getting started.
